3.E. WCW Funding
Rationale:
JEDI funds have been reduced by $2.9M in the final budget bill that the Legislature passed (this is $1.5M more than was planned). This results in approximately $1.5-$1.75M less funding being available than we currently have contracted (Wahoo Creek and Morse Bluff project).
We recently submitted a water sustainability grant application for the construction of site 85. We were also recently informed that NRCS has slippage funds from another state that they intend to add to our construction agreement for the first 3 sites. Conversations will be coming to discuss the order and timetable for construction along with funding mechanics. |
